The Wines We Love

Anarkos Restaurant Exclusive

Taste this wine. We dare you. It defies any form of traditional blending rules with  Primitivo, Negro Amaro, and Malvasia Nera in equal proportions. But if you're rebel enough, this wine is a well worth stepping onto the wilde side. Jammy, plummy, and all Puglia with chunky country tannins, this is a blockbuster of a red. 

Order now.

Sinfarosa Zinfandel Consignment

Before the world took notice of Zinfandel as anything but a little known cousin to sickly sweet pink wine, there was Italian Primitivo. And Puglia is the capitol of the grape. Racemi pays homage to the success of the California-branded, Italian born varietal with juicy bomb loaded with chocolate, blackberry and cooking spice notes.

Coming February 2012. Release Alert.

Felline Primitivo Consignment

Named Best in Class and 90 points at the 2011 Los Angeles International Wine Competition, this Primitive di Manduria defines the grape. Tremendous depth, almost opaque in colour, Felline offers up dark cocoa notes with wild raspberries, all spice, and crisp firm tannins.

Coming February 2012.
Release Alert.
